You Top 5 Songs By Any Artist

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I've been reading High Fidelity and so that has me thinking in Top 5 lists. If you could narrow the songs of your favorite artist (besides U2; we've had plenty of Top 5, 10, etc. U2 lists!) , what would they be?



For this, I'm going with Bruce:

1) Thunder Road
2) The River
3) Glory Days
4) Secret Garden
5) Racing In The Street

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

The Clash:

1) Janie Jones
2) London Calling
3) I'm So Bored With The USA
4) Death Or Glory
5) White Riot

Ask me again tomorrow. It'd be easier to name my top 5 Manics songs:

1) Stay Beautiful
2) Motorcycle Emptiness
3) Kevin Carter
4) Little Baby Nothing
5) Faster

But that could change, considering I haven't considered album tracks, b-sides and the like yet.

How about Oasis?

1) Live Forever
2) Acquiesce
3) The Masterplan
4) Don't Look Back In Anger
5) Step Out

Blur?

1) This Is A Low
2) Popscene
3) London Loves
4) To The End
5) No Distance Left To Run

etc. etc.
